The combine is all ready to go but there's a problem..

The combine is all ready to start harvest 2024 but there's a problem, which means it's parked up.

This is one of the reasons I enjoy Harry's Farm. As someone who is not a farmer he educates us non farmers into the problems that our farmers in every day life have. WELL DONE HARRY. Anyone out there who can do the same for our fishing industry?

Not a farmer, not even British anymore but I still keep watching these fascinating videos. Good luck with the harvest Harry.

I'm not a farmer, basically live in the suburbs and yet I absolutely love this it is absolutely fascinating, please keep up the great work!

Perhaps the government does know what it's doing, however dramatically reducing food supplies does not sound like whatever it is doing is in our interests.

Hello from Moosomin, Saskatchewan you have great videos and great at communicating. Thanks for sharing.

''I'm sure the government know what they're doing'' - I love the irony there Harry....!!!

[michaelmcgerr]

Love this channel Harry, best of luck with the harvest.

Bonkers Britain - paying farmers not to farm. What on earth could go wrong....?

We'll all be eating wild bird seed soon because that's all there is. Great video. All the best 🇬🇧.

Yep, Borage is an amazing plant...it just keeps coming back each year, with no input. It's now already taken over two and a half veg patches, and the bee coverage, as usual, is insane. And you can eat the petals and leaves in moderation, make teas etc...medicinal. Great stuff.

Good luck with the wheat.

Put in bee hives and the honey you harvest will sell rather rapidly. Your famous neighbor could sell it for you. My wife's uncle had a trailer with 20 hive boxes on it. He got paid for parking the trailer on some farmer's cropland and got great-tasting honey in return from his bees. Great pollinators for many crops. Our problem with our 1 acre of tomatoes and peppers is that the surrounding farmers spray to kill bugs but it also kills the bees. We have had to resort to hand pollination of our zucchini, yellow squash, and even our cucumbers. We grow this much because we have the land, we have 2 Category O 3-pt hitch-cultivating tractors, and other than what two 80-year-old people like us eat and can for our own use, 98% of the crop goes to a local food bank.

As a gardener I too have noticed the lack of bees and wasps about at the moment.

[raywatherston]

Very interested in your Borage. About 20 years ago I grew some in Scotland and it was exported to Canada and used for Medicinal purposes. My local Bee man brought some hives over to help with the pollination and he got some lovely honey Very mild and runny.
Very much enjoy your two blogs or whatever they are called.

I do enjoy knowing you've stolen all Jeremy's bees! 🐝🤣

[johnsweeney]

Great video. Hope the weather holds and you get the combine into the fields next week. Keep up the good work.

' I am sure the government knows what they are doing ' are you kidding ?

[andyphillips]

“It was a squirrel, it drives farmers nuts “ Brilliant.!

[Lanxe]

The farm is looking an absolute picture! Hope the harvest all goes well!

Our 90 acres of SFI was devoid of bees until mid July. They have appeared, but not in the numbers of last year. The wet start to the year has really hit the insect, butterfly and bee populations

Harry - here in TX we leave hunting vehicles out in the field, and vermin eat through wires and fuel lines. We have found decent plugin ultrasonic repellents deter them. I put them in all my outbuildings now over the winter where I store stuff that I care about.
